From point A, draw a line segment at an angle to the given line, and about the same length. The exact length is not important. Set the compasses on A, and set its width to a bit less than one fifth of the length of the new line. Step the compasses along the line, marking off 5 arcs. Label the last one C. With the compasses' width set to CB, draw an arc from A just below it. With the compasses' width set to AC, draw an arc from B crossing the one drawn in step 4. This intersection is point D. Draw a line from D to B. Using the same compasses' width as used to step along AC, step the compasses from D along DB making 4 new arcs across the line. Draw lines between the corresponding points along AC and DB. Done. The lines divide the given line segment AB in to 5 congruent parts.

What are some differences between linear equations and inequalities, specifically their solutions and the process of finding tho

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

difference between linear equations and inequalities is the solution set. A linear equation of two variables can have more than one solution. For instance, with x = 2_y_ + 3, (5, 1), then (3, 0) and (1, -1)

Police estimate that 25% of drivers drive without their seat belts. If they stop 6 drivers at random, find the probability tha

Furkat [3]

Answer:

17.80% probability that all of them are wearing their seat belts.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each driver stopped, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are wearing their seatbelts, or they are not. The drivers are chosen at random, which mean that the probability of a driver wearing their seatbelts is independent from other drivers. So we use the normal probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
